Hey there!

I'm Lisa, and I've been in the insurance world for nearly two decades, representing Aflac "the duck." I teamed up with three amazing women a few years back to launch our own agency. It really opened by eyes to all the amazing health solutions out there, with a strong focus on mental wellness.

My mission with Constant Contact is to shine a light on accessible virtual therapy options. With mental health challenges, especially with our kids, I'm committed to spreading awareness and helping individuals find the support they need.

While I've already kicked off a website and a small-scale email newsletter (big shoutout to my family and friends for their support!), my goal now is to expand my reach nationwide.

I'm thrilled to be partnering with CC to access the tools and guidance necessary to achieve this goal.

Hi @LisaP401,

Thank you for sharing your story and highlighting the important work you do. I'm a big advocate for therapy and I'm definitely interested to see how your organization develops.

• Addressing Substance Abuse Epidemic: Substance abuse and addiction have become a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide. The Living the Dream Recovery Vision aims to combat this epidemic by providing comprehensive support, treatment, and resources to individuals battling addiction. Funding this program means addressing a critical public health concern at its core.
• Holistic Approach to Recovery: This initiative employs a holistic approach, recognizing that recovery isn't just about overcoming physical dependence but also involves mental, emotional, and social rehabilitation. 
• Community Impact and Support: Investing in the Living the Dream Recovery Vision means investing in communities. By helping individuals recover from addiction, it creates a ripple effect that positively influences families, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Healthy, recovered individuals contribute positively to society, reducing crime rates, improving workforce productivity, and fostering a stronger, more resilient community.
• Reducing Healthcare Costs: Substance abuse takes a toll on healthcare systems, causing increased emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and other medical expenses. By supporting a recovery program like Living the Dream, you're contributing to reducing these costs in the long run. Investing in prevention and rehabilitation is more cost-effective than dealing with the consequences of untreated addiction.
• Empowerment and Life Transformation: Recovery isn't just about quitting substances; it's about rebuilding lives. Funding this vision helps individuals regain control over their lives, empowering them to become productive members of society. It provides education, job training, counseling, and life skills necessary for sustained recovery, transforming lives for the better.
• Research and Innovation: Financial support enables research and innovation within recovery programs. This funding can be directed towards improving treatment methods, exploring new therapeutic approaches, and enhancing support systems, ultimately leading to more effective and tailored recovery solutions.
• Long-term Benefits: Investing in recovery programs yields long-term benefits, breaking the cycle of addiction and preventing relapse. The individuals who recover become advocates, inspiring others and contributing positively to the wider community, creating a positive cycle of change.

Hi! I'm Patricia Sweet. My business is actually more of a craft--I write novels. At this point, I'm using Constant Contact to send emails to those subscribed to my small but growing newsletter. Of course, the ultimate goal of the newsletter is to sell my books. What am I interested in? Stories, ideas, pursuing truth in all ways, little stuff like that.

Hello Nick. I am a Realtor working for Realty One Group Engage in Jensen Beach, FL. I am also on a Team, The Bernadette Bunch Group.

I want a great way to be in touch and stay on top of all my contacts. My team leader suggested this as well.

I am usually a Sellers Agent and prefer that side, but if I have a Buyer Referral I will take it. I do a lot of promoting on Facebook and IG. I am just starting to learn videos. I have had 4 closings so far 2 were at $750,000! I have a new listing for $500,000! Can't wait to get this going.

[Nick_S]

Hi @RaeannL1,

Thanks for sharing that! I don't have any experience in real estate, but I'm sure there's a lot of hustle and bustle involved. There are lots of real estate agents that use Constant Contact, though, so you're in good company!

[MichelleK67]

Good morning,

My name is Michelle Kaboy

I support parents of children with physical disabilities by empowering them with the tools, resilience, and advocacy skills needed to ensure their children's well-being and foster a community of understanding and acceptance.

I love helping families (Parents in particular) who are dealing with the chaos of raising a child with physical disabilities. Being in their corner to help them structure their lives in a way that will benefit them as well as their child(ren) dealing with physical disabilities. My reward is when I see them meeting the milestones we set up together.

Networking and getting to know people from different backgrounds, culture and ethnicity.

[Nick_S]

Hi Michelle! That's such incredibly important work. Thank you for what you do to support these families and bringing your story to the Community. I hope to see you around!
